I just wanted to offer a word about social phobia--It definitely sucks--Ive suffered from it for the past five years with the only relief really coming from brief periods on certain meds when they worked for me--prozac was the best for it--it would be worth a try--though it did stop working for me after a few months. Wellbutrin has had the longest lasting effect for me, though its taken almost 6 months on it to fully notice reduced social anxiety.
You mentioned excess saliva--I have a thing with sweating when I have to talk to people--often on the coldest days I can still get really clammy hands and a layer of dripping sweat on my back.
Hang in there though--the earlier you realize that theres not something wrong with you but that you have a psycho-biological condition, the sooner you will be ale to get the help you need and heal. good luck.
